American Express posted higher revenue in the second quarter as consumers continued to spend on travel, entertainment and restaurants.

The New York City-based credit-card company logged net income of $2.17 billion, or $2.89 a share, up from $1.96 billion, or $2.57 a share, a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting earnings of $2.81 a share.

Chief Executive Stephen Squeri said travel and entertainment spending rose 14%, adjusted for foreign exchange. He said reservations on the Resy restaurant-booking platform reached a quarterly high, and bookings through the company's consumer-travel business hit their highest level since before the pandemic.

The company provisioned $1.20 billion for credit losses in the quarter, compared with $410 million in the year-ago period.

Shares fell 3.3% to $171.36 in premarket trading.
